Are road bullies the same at work/home?

I often drive, and many people try to push into my lane and turn aggressive when I won’t let them shove rudely. Are you someone who does it? Do you know someone who does it? Are you/they rude at work/home too?

I am not a road bully but I think the ones that are have a tendency to be that way with everything. Some people just push and shove their through life. I feel sorry for them. Must be exhausting.

    I grew up under a road bullie.

    At work he was a saint. Everyone liked him.

    At home and on the road, he was an evil man. Still is, now that he’s retired.

    But at church, everyone likes him.

    They are more likely to be the same at work, but not so at home. (they are scared of their wifes!) Road rage is a form of acting (acting out) you can humiliate other drivers, intimidate them, bully them without getting into the sh….. They are protected by a metal box and speed. If you really want to upset them .: Smile nicely, wave and let he/she do what they like. Only they will suffer, (I hope) and not a hair on your head will be harmed.
    Peace.

    I Don’t know of anyone who is, but I guess they are just normal people out of the steel cage.

    My sister is very religious and will help anyone, but behind the wheel of the car she has a hatred of milk floats and men who wear hats whilst driving a car!

    There is a very funny Disney cartoon from the 30’s or 40’s which is about a mild mannered character who changes into a foaming wild animal the moment they sit behind the wheel of a car, so its not a new thing.

    I wonder if the people who drive right to the last cone when entering road works, would ever consider walking straight to the front of a queue at a post office?

    I sincerely doubt it. This is probably the only place they can be aggressive. They are angry people who probably get no respect in life and take it out on strangers. If they pulled this stuff at home/or work they would get their azz kicked.

    Not necessarily, at work they could report to someone with OCD and consequentlly are abused all day, and the drive home is the only time they can let it all out.

    Generally someone who is low-key at work is either abusive or very aggressive in other places (home, car, shopping, church, etc.). and vice-versa.

    I know your question is about them so Yes, they are the same everywhere. I want to let you know that you are the same everywhere & when you let people push in front of you this is a pattern you have that comes from you believeing that is the way you get treated. It may have started when you were younger. Sometimes people have people around them they push their way. Now you can see yourself just going along in life without anyone getting in your way & if you work on this it won’t even happen in traffic anymore.

    Hmm…I don’t know. The people I associate with don’t seem to me to be road bullies. But I see them driving everytime on the road. They are jerks. I nearly got pushed into another vehicle and the guy just smiled at me. Punk kid. I am on the highway and this punk kid was just merging onto the highway but I had no place to go. The correct thing would be to let me speed up as I was doing and move in behind me. He could not speed up and pass me. The timing was off for that as I was already a bit ahead. It happened but it was a bit tense because his little lane was shrinking and there was an SUV beside me. Yesterday, I saw 2 long trucks try to get over on a van. There was another truck or vehicle in front of the van. But the 2 large trucks were going to miss their exit. I was behind but a bit upset at what I was seeing. These truckers passed me and I was going above the speed limit. They were not in the left lane for long at all. Wouldn’t you think they would just stay in the lane and accept heavy traffic? It was after 5pm. I hate road bullies, hate them. Sorry excuses of human trash.

    If I work with some then I don’t know as I don’t see them driving. We don’t all get to and leave work at the same time.
    My husband is a little more aggressive or assertive than me but he’s still laid back compared to other drivers in our area.
    He’s like that at home too.

    So maybe these road bullies are like that in other areas of life. It would make sense.

    I am like how I am when I drive. I’m focused and determined to get to my destination safely. I just do the best I can do. Discipline.
